[jira] Updated: (DERBY-4371) Non-selected columns for SELECT

Attachment: DERBY-4371.diff
Hi All,
I have attached a patch for this issue. This patch shows following error for the query mentioned in the description:
ERROR 42879: The ORDER BY clause may not contain column 'expression' , since the query specifies DISTINCT and that column does not appear in the query result.
I used 'expression' in the error, since j*2 is not a column reference, but I think it is better if we can show a new error for this.
I am expecting your valuable comments on the patch.
